You know when the ComicCon starts we get a lot of movie treats: "Yahoo Movies" has released today two amazing promo posters which will be used during ComicCon for two of the Marvel's most anticipated films "Thor" and "Captain America: The First Avenger".

Marvel is organizing a big panel at San Diego ComicCon this Saturday, and hopefully they might release some pictures and images for both "Thor" and "Captain America: The First Avenger" on that occasion, beside these art work posters.

And when we are mentioning "Thor", Mark Protosevich, the screenwriter who adapted Thor for the big screen, is planning to adapt another comic book: it is possible that he will also direct "Freakshow", the film version of the upcoming comic book in which the story revolves around five young people who are turned into mutants with special powers after a chemical explosion and they must decide whether to use their powers to save the city or to exact revenge on those responsible for the explosion.

Another comic book to be adapted into a film is "The Strange Case of Hyde". This Dark Horse comic follows Dr. Jekyll and his alter-ego Mr. Hyde, bringing a fresh view of the famous story by making the split personality the center of a Victorian-era action-adventure that sees him go head-to-head against a historical villain.

So what's the best revenge after a women gets divorced from her husband because he cheated on her: maybe starting a sizzling and super steamy relationship with some sinfully gorgeous male top model who is at least ten years younger than her ex husband? Well,

that's exactly what our lovely British rose Kate Winslet has done. After her marriage split from movie director Sam Mendesearlier this year, Kate wasn't crying her heart out for too long. The Oscar-winning actress has been going out with a hunky top model Louis Dowler for a few months now and they have become inseparable. Louis is her age (32) and is most famous for the Burberry fashion campaign he did with Kate Moss. Kate has been married two times and both of her husbands were much older than her so the choice of this six-foot tall and strikingly handsome model is more than interesting one. People who know him describe him as a down-to-earth guy who could give piece and security to Kate Winslet. It's interesting that Kate has shot a new miniseries this year called "Mildred Pierce" in which she plays a middle-class housewife who divorces her husband and goes on to raise their children on her own. Strange coincidence isn't it? After divorcing Mendes, Kate took their son Joe (6) and her daughter Mia (9) and they moved to New York. Are you cheering for Kate in this one?

One of the movies we are anxiously waiting to see on August 27th is the Roman epic "Centurion" directed by Neill Marshall. Three new character posters and a new hand-drawn comic poster have just been revealed showing Michael Fassbender, Olga Kurylenko and Dominic West. Check them out.

As I've informed you many times before, "Centurion" will follow the legendary Ninth Legion which is trying to wipe the Picts from the face of the earth and destroy their leader over at ancient Britain.
Earlier this year, I've also informed you that "G.I.Joe" will get its sequel, and now it has been officially confirmed that visual genius, Stephen Sommers ("The Mummy", "Van Helsing") will sit behind the helm again. Channing Tatum will most likely return as Captain Duke Hauser in the new installment of the movie which has grossed more than $300 million around the world.

Lloyd Levin the producer of "Watchmen" has bought the film rights to the comic book series "Mage". According to "Movieweb", the series was created by Matt Wagner in the 80s, and is a reimagined version of the Camelot legend. The story centers on Kevin Matchstick, a troubled young man who learns he possesses special powers and, with the aid of an enchanted baseball bat, seeks out to vanquish the evil plans of the Umbra Sprite.
